I'm trying to install the drivers for a Laserjet 1217 nfw on my new HP Envy x360. I have downloaded the full solutions file from the HP website. When I go to run the file the extracting status window comes up and when It gets to 100% the window disappears but nothing happens. I have tried restarting the computer and it still does the same thing.
Solved! Go to Solution.

Hi,
Click the Start button and type %temp% into the search bar, then open the shown Temp folder.
Open the latest HP installation folder which begins with 7z (e.g. 7zs1234)
Double click HpSetup.exe and the installation should begin.

Thank you for joining the HP Support Community
I see that you are facing difficulties in Installing the printer drivers.
I recommend you delete the driver at the root level and Install the drivers, follow the steps below:
1.) In Windows, search for and open Programs and features
2.) Select your HP Printer
3.) Select Uninstall
4.) In Windows, search for and open Devices and printers
5.) In the Devices and Printers windows look for your HP printer. If you see it listed right-click on it and choose `Delete' or `Remove Device'
6.) Open up the run command with the "Windows key + R" key combo.
7.) Type printui.exe /s and click Ok. (Note: there is a space in between "printui.exe" and "/s")
8.) Click on the "Drivers" tab
9.) Look for HP Printer driver. If you see it Click on it and click Remove at the bottom
10.) Select Ok
11.) Select Apply and Ok on the Print Server Properties windows
12.) Close Devices and Printers
Then, Click on this link: https://support.hp.com/us-en/drivers/selfservice/swdetails/hp-laserjet-pro-m1217nfw-multifunction-pr... to download and install the HP LaserJet Full Feature Software and Driver.
Try to print.
Keep me posted, how it goes!

I followed all of your instructions. When I executed the full solutions file a window to install the printer came up. I followed the instructions in that and was able to print a test page from HP Smart which is assume is the printer app. However when I go to printers and devices it still says "Driver is unavailable" for this printer. I have restarted the computer and it still says that.
I have this driver installed on another computer with Windows 10 64 bit also. Would I be able to copy the files needed from that computer and transfer them into this one?
Anymore help will be much appreciated.

Hi,
I have the same problem as the OP. The M1217nfw printer works fine with an older version of W10 Home (v1803). However I am unable to get it working properly on my new W10 Enterprise (v1809). On the new W10 v1809 I am able to manually install the drivers by browsing to this folder on my PC:
C:\Windows\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository\hpm1210.inf_amd64_55cf96b3893cb6ca
However, once I install the drivers they cause various errors: "Function Address 0x80072c5c caused a protection fault. Some or all property pages may not be displayed."
I have the printer partially working using a generic Microsoft print driver, but have lost some key features, since this driver is not as fully featured as the HP one. Per this page the full HP driver should work with Windows 10:

Can you please help?
